Introducing the incredible Benny! 🐾 Are you searching for a dazzling companion to light up your days? Look no further! This charming 6-month-old Border Collie/Aussie mix is not just a pretty face; he's a bundle of brilliance weighing in at just 20 lbs! Imagine the joy of having a dog that combines intelligence, heart, and playful puppy energy into one irresistible package! 💖 Now, here’s the scoop on Benny: He’s not only crate-trained but also house-trained, folks! He’s a quick learner who will astound you with his ability to adapt to household routines like a pro. True to his herding-dog lineage, Benny thrives on having a “job” to do. He already knows how to *sit* and *shake*, and with that eager-to-please attitude, he is destined to be a training superstar! 🎓 Benny might be a little shy at first, but with the warmth of your patience and kindness, he’ll blossom into the affectionate cuddler every home deserves. 🌟 Once he trusts you, be prepared for the cuddles of a lifetime - he bonds deeply and loves to snuggle! This intelligent pup has a zest for life that’s infectious! With medium energy, he relishes the opportunity to romp around a yard, burning some of that playful energy. Because he’s still in his youthful prime, it’s crucial that Benny has a family who can give him plenty of time outside the crate and engage with him throughout the day. 🏃‍♂️✨ Benny is also dog-friendly and may delight in playful antics with a compatible canine friend. However, his puppy enthusiasm might be a bit TOO much for some. And when it comes to cats, he’s a bit curious; just be cautious as he might just take off after them if they decide to run! 🐱💨 Now here’s a **fantastic bonus**! Benny's adoption includes *two free training sessions* with the amazing Clementine Dog Training! Talk about setting both him and you up for success as he blossoms into the incredible dog he's meant to be! Benny would thrive best in a home with: - A patient family who understands herding breeds and can help him build confidence - Someone eager to continue positive reinforcement training and provide enrichment - A home with a yard for plenty of playtime - Potentially another playful, compatible dog to join the fun! If there’s a whisper in your heart calling for a clever, loyal companion to grow with, Benny is waiting to be that special friend! 🌈 Remember, adorable dogs like Benny aren't placed on a first-come, first-served basis. The aim is to find the *purr-fect* match for each furry soul. Applications may take up to 48 hours to process, and his adoption fee is $200.
